Final Flurry in San Ignacio and Diego

Monday, 13 Jan 2014 | Views [627]

Nice Beach - who put those SUVs there? After another breakfast watching small birds doing their Sisyphean nest-building task (poor things) we got the bus up to San Ignacio some 270km north which is known as a base for seeing the breeding grey ... Read more >

Sweeeee! Fleeing the Pox up Baha

Saturday, 13 Nov 2010 | Views [1858]

We were rudely awakened at 6.00 by the ferry horn, telling us it was time to get up, get ready, and get off, as we'd arrived uneventfully in La Paz, at the south-eastern tip of Baha.  Baha is seemingly a different country, not because of the swarms ... Read more >

Bandit Country - Rocks, Pines and Sky down the Copper Canyon

Saturday, 6 Nov 2010 | Views [2024]

On arriving at Chihuahua at some godforsaken time in the morning, we found our way to the train station to get the morning Copper Canyon train up to Creel, high in the Sierra Madre.  Except, there wasn't one, so instead we walked into town (probably ... Read more >

Road journeys up the Central Spine

Friday, 26 Feb 2010 | Views [1273]

The next journey was up north three hours on the bus to Queretaro through an increasingly dry and desert landscape.  Queretaro was once a centre for opal and silver mining, and it shows in the lovely painted mansions and town houses in the centre.  ... Read more >

Mexico City Madness

Thursday, 31 Dec 2009 | Views [2333]

Our journey to Mexico City took us up through scrub woodland and then through endless miles more of upland cactus scrub, grey, white and brown, interspersed by the odd river surrounded by a narrow belt of green.  It once more brought home how alien ... Read more >

Semana Santa in Oaxaca

Monday, 23 Nov 2009 | Views [3669] | Comments [1]

We took the night bus to Oaxaca – an 11 hour journey down into the arid plains and up again into the mountains.  This was our first taste of the massive scale of Mexico – it’s a big country!  It was also our first taste of near ubiquitous cactus desert, ... Read more >

San Cristobal - Anyone up for insurrection?

Monday, 21 Sep 2009 | Views [1672]

After the long drives around rural Chiapas, we were glad to get back to San Cristobal and spend a week or so just bumming around.  There are worse places to bum, and it seemed that quite a few fellow europeans had chosen the same place to hang out ... Read more >

Northern Chiapas - Mucho Mas Mayan Metropolises

Tuesday, 28 Jul 2009 | Views [2138]

We booked a micro bus to take us out of Guatemala.  We suffered a rather large wait for a connecting bus at Quattro Caminos, which caused a rather large Italian fellow traveller to go into an angry tirade with the new bus driver in good Italian fashion.... Read more >

Observant readers may remember that back in Panama,we went on a tour of a specialist coffee producer on the slopes of Volcan Baru .   The blurb on the tour said ´ warning you may become a coffee snob ´.   Unlikely, I thought – I´ve been ... Read more >
